Okay, I flipped the breaker, pulled the fuses, and blew up the transformer.

I think level name should be based around the Wardens/Mods/Bartenders

Fill in the blanks


0-500  MacAnally (SP?)

500-1000

1000-5000

5000-10000 - Paynesgray-shade

10000-20000 - Sexxxy Shexxxy like

20000 + - Priscellie-esk (cause you've been pretty industrious)

Fixed it for ya  8)

Some very long-used ones in my part of the country are -

door's open but nobody home

a few sandwiches short of a picnic

a few bricks short of a full load

a bit light in the loafers

---------------
And in regard to the recent replacement of a level name, myself I did prefer McPosterpants because to me it's funnier and I didn't find it offensive in any way. However, since that did bother another member, so be it.

Yes, I've seen a 'put on your big-girl panties' type of phrase any number of times in various settings and never have considered that offensive. It's a remark about handling a task or issue in a mature way, not a gender slur. AFAIR I've always seen it addressed from one woman to another, never from a man to a woman. That's probably also why guys may have seen 'big-boy pants' used instead.
Unless something's frankly blatant and explicit, any personal affront or distaste is a very individual reaction. Thus, my reaction only counts for me alone. Others' reactions may well be quite different on any number of topics than are mine.

Is there any other suggestion which might be more amusing than McPostington, for switching again?

"No! I'm not dropping the shield until Harry says it's okay." She paused. "Uh, besides. I'm not sure how."

Yeah, I would love a new category over 20000. Keyboard broker?

Hey, c'mon, folks! I agree, lots of good ideas given for levels wherever you wish for the higher numbers, but let's not overlook the members with smaller numbers. They may have just begun to participate in the forums.

IIRC, right now newb's get a pat on the back at ten and then at one hundred. Let's keep something acknowledging those who may just have recently arrived, as well as those who may just enjoy lurking/reading more than they do much speaking out.
